			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are providing health care coverage for your employees, your business cash subsidizes health care costs of your employees through your payroll.</p>
<p>Why is that?</p>
<p>It should never be like that. The insurance industry should be collecting their funds from their customer&#8217;s in other ways, not through your payroll services. The insurance industry already collects money for their products from consumer&#8217;s in various ways, that have nothing to do with payroll.</p>
<p>To me, it seems kind of stupid that you can only get health insurance plans by working for a company that can afford to pay for coverage that you want. The exorbitant health care costs need to leveraged differently throughout the total population. So technically, if you had an insurance plan id number for an employee, you could deduct for and pay for coverage based strictly on the employee&#8217;s contribution to their own plan, which has nothing to do with your business or the money you may be paying to subsidize health care.</p>
<p>On the other hand, if the insurance industry can figure out a way to help everyone in the U.S. get health care coverage, without taking funds from your business, as a benefit to the employee, then your business cash flow should go up. Simply because the cost of an individual&#8217;s health care would be pooled and leveraged differently than it is today.</p>
<p>Once you have more cash flow, the next thing you could possibly do for your employees and the job market is recalculate the rate of pay for every employee. Take an 8 hour day of wages and pay it in a 5 hour period. The employee now only works 5 hours with one break and an optional lunch (6 hours).</p>
<p>Now you will have hire someone else to cover the other 3-5 hour part of your businesses work day.</p>
<p>Where do you think that money should come from? How about a stimulus package for small business to hire employees, directly funded by the government, say for up to a year. Hopefully at the end of a year your business can afford to retain every employee, otherwise things just fold back to unemployment<br />
and government subsidies to maintain that.</p>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t figured it out yet, some of the U.S. government&#8217;s policies on where stimulus funds should go all seem point to big business or large subcultures helping to build the new economy. Does it make sense that a bank should get stimulus funds to loan you money? I think it makes more sense for your business to get stimulus funds directly from the government to help with your payroll, so unemployment goes down rather quickly. </p>
<p>The way things are put together now is not working. All that needs to happen now is some of the pieces of puzzle need to be moved around a bit. As soon as that happens, everybody can have health care through central exchanges and the stimulus funds are going where they are most needed, to most of the people.</p>
<p>But then again, it is your payroll and this post is just my opinion.</p>
<p>It is a fact that inflation, as well as health care costs, have outpaced the wage base. The only way to turn that around is to move the pieces around and place money and time back where it belongs, in the hands of the people.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today my business is all about helping you with your business on the Internet.</p>
<p>That is possible because 20+ years ago, I started learning how to move your business from paper to an electronic process, that you can manage without me, once I have finished the job.</p>
<p>If you are starting to build an Internet business presence now or are considering expanding your presence, see VSB Memberships page. </p>
<p>I can also help develop what you need for your business site and teach you or your staff what they should be doing to maintain everything for you with the least amount of intervention from you or me to maintain operations. </p>
<p>Basically, you continue doing what you do best for your business, while I continue supplementing your Internet business presence.</p>
<p>And right now, because of a down economy, my service charges are inexpensive when compared to industry standards.</p>
<p>If you are considering help to develop your own Internet business site, there is a minimum base charge of $379.00. You will be expected to place a deposit towards that amount, following our phone conversation about our business, if we decide to move forward with your project. Depending on your project or location, sales tax may also be applied to any charges. </p>
<p>You can call 216-233-4443, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and leave a brief message with the best time to call you back to discuss your particular business situation. Rest assured, if I am not able to help you in some way, I will not take on the project.</p>
<p>I have the talent, experience and customer referrals to prove to you, I mean business. All that is left is filling up the hours I have set aside for projects.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s time for a career change, but to what? Affiliate Management is definitely the way to go! It is a growing and exciting career. It requires a combination of skills such as organization, creativity and leadership to work together in harmony. Best of all, it is a highly sought after position. A successful Affiliate Manager can create an enormous income stream for an internet business or offline companies and are handsomely rewarded. The top 3 benefits of being an Affiliate Manager are income level, networking and hiring demand both in internet business and offline.</p>
<p>Normally, affiliate managers get a base pay plus incentive income based upon performance. They usually get a bulk monthly payment, retainer, or base salary. Typically, the monthly base payment will range between $2,000-$5,000. Then, they also get paid a pre-determined percentage, usually 5%-10% for every sale that is generated through the affiliate program as a result of their efforts. As an affiliate program grows and gets bigger, it can become highly financially rewarding for both the affiliate, affiliate manager and the owner of the internet business or an offline company. This payment structure allows for the affiliate manager to have the best of both financial worlds; security from a base and increased financial opportunity due to performance.</p>
<p>As in most industries, including internet business, a quick way to climb the latter of success is to get in with the big dogs! It is important and beneficial to meet and network with lots of powerful people. The pure nature of affiliate management does exactly this. To run a successful affiliate program, it is required that the individual work closely with affiliate; those who own their own businesses. Many times, affiliates are already making sales which, prequalifies them as being someone with a level influence and success. As with any business, one&#8217;s success is often times related to the people you know, can learn from and are influenced by.</p>
<p>Affiliate management is not just a position in internet business. It is becoming increasingly popular in the offline world due to the revenue generating power of the system. Most large offline companies have affiliate programs and need skilled affiliate managers. Take a look at monster.com or other job posting/seeking sites and you will see that companies are posting jobs and hiring affiliate managers all of the time. It is a position that is in high demand right now, both in internet business and offline.</p>
